We pull that off id be very happy.
Imagine we get 2 then pick Stephenson or Constable LOL i can see it now. Id lose it
Jaxons is a valuable contributor. He'll keep posting, no doubt. In the end, none of this argey bargey matters. What does matter is what we're left with at 2.00 p.m. tomorrow. Jaxons may be wrong or right. Big deal, one way or the other. As I quoted elsewhere in this forum from the late, great, Farouk Bulsara. Nothing really matters (apart from done deals and draft order0 anyone can see. Nothing really matters. Nothing really matters, to me..........any way the wind blows, (Cue gong).
"Is this the right room for an argument?"
"I told you once."
"No, you didn't."
"Yes, I did."
"Listen, an argument isn't just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says, it's a series of statements designed to support a particular conclusion."
"No, it isn't."
"Oh, I've had enough of this."
"No you haven't"
"Oh shut up."

Not correct at all.
We have interest in Tomlinson but won’t be using pick 7 or 8 on him.
Collingwood also in to him in a big way.
We are also exploring a young backman from Port.
Kane Cornes reporting Logan has requested trade.
This one will sting the doubters. Don't need to justify but well done Jaxon as always.
One of the only reasons this site is remotely relevant.
Well done, CQS, the true source. All hail the new Messiah, CQS!

Well it matters that people enjoy reading this site when we get interesting insider thinking from Jaxons. It matters that he's now been driven off the forum by a bunch of wannabe losers and it's going to be seriously boring on here now.
CQ SAINT wrote:Logan Austin is uncontracted according to footywire where as Howard would be harder to get with 2 years to go; especially seeing Trengove has gone.
At 22 with improving SANFL experience, he looks likely as a developing key defender with good closing speed. He is reported as being a strong leader, capable one on one defender, athletic and has good rebounding attributes. At 196 and 92 kg he could be handy.
Hasn't set the world on fire in his 13 games but has apparently had negating roles and was serviceable but was set back by injury in late 2016.
Would be cheap and suits our development needs.
Well done CQ.
CQS hand picked Austin, Jaxons with the sneeky nod
Gehrig emerged from scans yesterday saying he was "as sweet as a bun"
I still can't believe this thread has had as many posts and views as it has. Its been viewed and commented on more than the latest Star Wars 8 trailer on YouTube.
Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud
In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and the St Kilda FC

What is all this?
Jaxons said we are looking at a young Port defender, then CQ (and myself.. if you look back at the reference I made to Jack Steele's friend) worked out that it was Logan Austin he was talking about.. then Jaxons confirmed it..
people really are good at denying evidence when it does not suit their narrative..

Sorry, my mistake

Right underneath their posts...
Mods always put the warning under the offending post.
Or are u being funny?
No, 2 posts from modes (actually, one ex-mod) saying to knock off calling them out...then someone calls them out then next post.
Honestly, if we contacted them every time someone posted crap on this forum, they wouldn't have time to eat. Having said that, some dumb posts have been left to go too long over the years.
Perhaps using our membership number to register but hidden from view. Don't know how secret they are but something needs to be done as too many of these posters sound like outsiders just here to stir.

The criticism of Jaxons and Ameet Bains has been deplorable...and by the usual suspects, of course. Really disappointing. It's no wonder I barely post on here these days. I notice quite a few have dropped off in recent times, too. Probably for the same reason, i suspect.
And if only you knew the link between Ameet and Jaxons it is quite ironic!
I have been asked to prove what I have given to this forum...look back at my posts.
I have given you every trade deal we have been involved with for the last 3-4 years as well as exclusively given you our first draft picks on the day of the draft.
And yes sorry I declared we had secured Laverde and Haynes commitments to join our club, and that Choco Williams was going to be our coach.
But for other factors at play the deals didn’t materialize.
However ‘due to the eat your Own nature” of some here all of that has now ceased.
Please do not apologise for anything.
Ignore the minority that do not value or even try to tear down your contributions. They are a few but loud.
There are hundreds of posters and thousands of readers of this forum that value your posts - please keep posting any info you can.

Jaxons has now twice given clues to who he is and it is very easy to work and he is as ITK as they get... and a bunch of muppets keep posting rubbish about it...
I blame the mods as well... there is a special thread made for the special people known as Jaxons sceptics.. move their posts over there!
And ban them from this thread!
Do your job!
And while you are at it, if you want to post rubbish about Ameet Bains then START A DAMN THREAD ON IT and talk to your stupid selves and stay away from here!!
Mods please clean up this mess... move posts to where they should be... and all you muppets, STAY ON TOPIC HERE and discuss trades and potential trades... not the credentials of posters
Sorry we have real jobs and don't have time to move the myriad of posts that are in wrong threads. We only move abusive posts or conversations that breach rules. That is our job. These posts don't breach rules despite being boring. We don't move boring or irrelevant posts. Sorry.

Would it be possible to start a new thread called, say "Friends of Jaxons", which would have its own special rule: Any post that's rude to Jaxons gets the chop.?
Not the sort of rule you'd want across the whole site -- but just for this 'club room'.
Could the Mods police that? The rule would be pretty clear.
Then the rest of us could just get on with appreciating Jaxons' tips, and enjoy discussing them without tearing him down.
It would be a relief.
I'm a big fan of Ameet's work, as per my post, "What has Ameet/The Romans ever done for us?" Is Jaxons a close relative, or even the great man himself? A mild-mannered list manager and football department guru by day, a controversial poster on SS by night. You know it makes sense. Personally, I'm a bit embarrassed I doubted you over the Austin clue. All kudos to Jaxons and Ameet, especially if we pull off a last-minute stunner before 2.00 p.m today.
